Kids say the darndest things...

So today has been a funny day.  It has been a super busy but hilarious day.  There are no words...

At the Swim Meet
5 year old: Miss Emmarie, How old are you?
5 year old's mom: You should never ask a lady how old she is. 
Me:  No worries.  I'll tell you.  On Monday I'll be two years away from 30. 
8 year old: Oh so you are 28... Miss Emmarie, wow you are tall for your age. 
Me:  Ha ha ha
Their mom:  I am the same age they are comparing you to me and I'm short. 
Me:  It's ok.  I actually can't remember the last time someone said that to me.  You see guys grown-ups all hit a certain age and we stop growing. 
Another mom:  We'll we stop growing that way but we still grow in others. 

Wow, definitely so true. 

At the Y
11 year old: Miss Emmarie, how old are you? 
Me: Well on Monday I'll be 28. 
11 year old (in ecstatic voice):  I KNEW IT!!!!  You look like you are 27. 
Me:  Ha ha

Seriously, what is with all the age conversations today?  How funny is that?!?  I hope these conversations keep coming.  They are priceless!  However, I have two questions for you.  Please answer them if you know the answer.  How tall is the average 28 year old?  What makes someone look like they are 27?
